Agenda

• Decisiveness

• Illustrative Scenario:

Operational Environment
^National Command Authority (NCA)
Guidance
Military Objectives

• Objective Force in future scenario:

^Entry Operations
^Decisive Operations

• Pursuit of Technology

• Summary

Purpose

Illustrate:

•Objective Force - essential to
executing decisive Joint operations

•Challenges of emerging operational
environments

• Significance of Army support to the
CINC

•Key operational capabilities of the
Objective Force

Define " DECISIVENESS "

•Ability to accomplish strategic goals and
objectives

•Decision is achieved by:

^The ability to force an enemy to succumb
to our will and cease to resist
Physically destroying enemy's capability
to fight

Breaking enemy's will by:

> Inflicting more destruction and
disintegration of control than the enemy
can bear

> Forcing capitulation to negotiate
settlement

What Constitutes

DCCiSiVGnGSS

•Operations other than war

Solidify partnerships / relationships
^ Enforce peace
^ Prevent crisis

•Smaller Scale Conflict / Crisis (SSC)

Re-establish regional stability, lasting peace
s Halt genocide, end refugee flow
Eliminate threats to regimes

• Major Theater War (MTW)

Counter offensive to rapidly conclude conflict

^ Significant reduction of risk to US / Allied forces

Enable rapid swing between theaters if second
conflict erupts

How Force Projection Army
Brings Closure to Joint
Operations

•Supports CINC by establishing multi-dimensional area
of influence

•Cements vital coalitions, helps stabilize governments

• Directly attacks enemy anti-access strategy

• Immediately alters crisis conditions

Despite significant challenges of time sensitivity,
anti-access and a complex environment...

•Accomplishes decisive military action to achieve
CINC / NCA stated objectives

Bottom line: Closure is assured and rapid

Illustrative

Scenario

( 2010 )

• Azerbaijan: Pro-Western President; Opposed by
radical Islamic dissident faction supported by Iran

Iran providing military support to Armenia to
increase pressure on Azerbaijani government

Armenia invades Azerbaijan to regain lost
territory

Islamic dissident faction demands resignation of
Azerbaijani president

Iran positions substantial military forces along the
Azerbaijani border; postured towards Baku

Russia proposes a joint US / Russian operation to
halt Armenian aggression, restore previous
border, and deter Iranian intervention in the crisis

CINC Military Objectives

• Stabilize Azerbaijani government, force
insurgents out of capital city, quell
unrest

• Deter or defeat Iranian forces. Prevent
illegitimate occupation

• Halt Armenian forces

• Restore Azerbaijan / Armenia border

• Establish and maintain coalition

CINC Intent

• Show US commitment from the outset

• Immediately engage the near term threat to Azeri
sovereignty, which is the invading Armenian force

• Deter Iranian intervention by first demonstrating
commitment to engage all forces that threaten an
attack on Azerbaijan, its forces or people

• Support Azeri counter insurgency operations with
inte , log, psychological and information
operations, legal and police support

• Stabilize, then attack to destroy if Armenian
forces won't leave Azeri soil

• Demonstrate intent by directing powerful strikes
at key Armenian centers of gravity

• Eject Armenian forces

•Deter Iranian aggression

•Restore stability in Azerbaijan

•Be prepared to evacuate non-

Problems in Foreseeable

Future

Lack of Theater
Infrastructure

D/stdJScteir & Naval Power cannot stop aggression
in time

•No US Ground Forces forward deployed in
theater. Have to deploy from:

^ CONUS

^ Central Europe

•Lack of mature infrastructure complicates
access and sustainment

•The Joint Force can't get there from here...
limited lift, air and sea ports, time sensitive

US Forces

Available

Time

To do this

Army forces have to be light enough to deploy rapidly, but mobile and lethal
enough to be decisive

Forces will have to fight in different ways:

s Flexible doctrine

s Overmatching combat power from S & T

s Smaller but more capable, agile and versatile organizations against the most
advanced threats

s Adaptive and adept leaders
s Innovative, professional soldiers
s Joint / Army integrated C4ISR as key enabler

Implication for the National Military

Cf Am#

To achieve strategic success in the future, the Service
and the Joint Force must apply different metrics to the
force effectiveness equation.

The Objective Force is
therefore centered on:

Changing the paradigms of Responsiveness, Deployability, Vt
Agility, Survivability, Lethality, Sustainment - So that the Natio
the Joint Force Commander will have...

Challenges to Power
Projection

• Time sensitivity

• Environment:

Size of AOR, imposing geography, weather extremes

Diverse terrain - combination of open / rolling,
urban, close and complex, mountainous

Austere infrastructure - class 40 roads and bridges,
few developed air and sea ports, few options for
combat service support

Limited host nation support - fuel, water, food

Challenges to Power
Projection

• Four simultaneous enemy problems:

^ Regional anti-access strategy

In WEST, Armenian aggression (230km from
Baku)

s In SOUTH, Iran postured to invade (180 km from
Baku)

^ At Baku, insurgent role is overthrow the
government, invoke terror amongst population or
damage the oil fields

• Coalition / Alliance:

Azeri military is struggling to halt Armenian
attacks

Azerbaijan government on verge of collapse
Alliance vital interests not clearly threatened

Dilemma - Decisive

Operations

Decisive Operations Dilemma

Define " DECISIVENESS "

•Ability to accomplish strategic goals and
objectives

•Decision is achieved by:

^The ability to force an enemy to succumb
to our will and cease to resist
^Physically destroying enemy's capability
to fight

^Breaking enemy's will by:

> Inflicting more destruction and
disintegration of control than the enemy
can bear

> Forcing capitulation to negotiate

Decisive Operations:

Task / Purpose

• Conduct counter-offensive to repel
Armenian forces

• Restore territorial sovereignty of Azerbaija

• Eliminate counter-insurgency

• Resolve conflict in terms favorable for
peace enforcement

• Destroy long range precision strike threat

Objective Force Pursuit of
Technoloov

Focus of Science and Technology Efforts:

• Survivability : Integrated approach and denial of shot
opportunity to the enemy

• Lethality: Rapidly responsive and accurate effects with
direct sensor to shooter links across an effects network
(NET Fires)

• Power and Energy: Alternative and ultra efficient power
sources and fuel usage - Includes multi-functional power
for FCS, directed energy weapons, and soldier power
systems (batteries)

• Responsiveness: Ability to deploy rapidly and support
operations from austere forward areas

• Soldier and Leader: Improved training and cognitive
intelligence tools. Enhance stamina and performance

Objective Force Pursuit of
Technoloov

• Integrated Sensors: Sensor packages to provide all-
seeing capability of enemy to enhance tactical
standoff fires, maneuver and assault

• Communications: Reliable non-line-of-sight voice and
digital communications. Includes requirement for full
communications during aviation precision strikes

• Other Kev Areas Include:

s Extend tactical reach of fires
Mine / counter mine technology

^ Intra theater Air Mobile operations

Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle technologies and
linkages between manned and unmanned platforms

^ Logistics demand reduction (ammo, fuel, repair parts,
and consumption)

Summary

Strategic Benefits of Objective

•Revolutionary step forward in achieving
decisive US responsiveness
•Directly counters emerging anti-access threats
and strategies

•Powerful force dominates across spectrum:
Offense, Defense, Stability and Support.
•Greatly enhances US strategic agility —
Provides key to crisis response and
deterrence

Decisive around the globe, deploys and
fights anywhere

Demonstrates real commitment to allies
and adversaries

Conclusion

• US must maintain global responsiveness to
remain strategically dominant

• Current US power projection and decisive
strategies heavily threatened by time,
challenges to access, and changing environment

• Objective Force meets these challenges by
giving CINCs ability to insert decisive ground
power throughout Spectrum of Conflict
